One wonders if Adolphe Sax, who fashioned the first saxophone in
1843, had the foresight to envision it as a symbol of 20th-century
"coolness. Created by a Belgian, Adolphe Sax, in the mid-19th
century (see Al Rose's essay in this issue, 233) the saxophone
would have become an obsolete, novelty instrument, archived in some
works by French and Belgian composers, if it were not for its role in
20th-century African American music. |
